The Experimental High School Attached to Beijing Normal University (Chinese: 北京师范大学附属实验中学; pinyin: Běijīng shīfàn dàxué fùshǔ shíyàn zhōngxué) is a public secondary school in Xicheng, Beijing, China. The school is supervised by the Beijing City Xicheng District Education Committee.

The school was founded in 1917 as the Girls' Middle School Attached to Beijing Girls' Normal School (北京女子师范学校附属中学). It was integrated in 1931 to Beijing Normal University and renamed Girls' Middle School Attached to Beijing Normal University (北京师范大学附属女子中学). In 1968, boys were admitted to the school for the first time, and in 1978, the school was renamed to its current title.

The school is known for being the site of the torture and murder of Bian Zhongyun, a deputy principal who was killed during a struggle session just thirteen days before her student, Song Binbin, adorned an armband on Mao Zedong at the 8-18 rally during Red August. Bian is considered as one of the first victims of the Cultural Revolution.
